My New DS!

**theymightbegiants** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-2004, 12:07 AM

Well I bought the DS on the 21st only to realise that there was a dead pixel on the touch screen. After playing with it for a week, I called Nintendo and told them it was defective and that it was really affecting my gameplay, so they sent me a new one, and today I got it! The best part is they want me to take out all the games and accessories from my old system when I return it, so that means I get to keep my old styluses, so now I will have three!!! God I love the DS!!!!

EDIT: oops, I just realised I put this topic in the DS Games discussion on the General DS discussion.

Thats great. How annoying was the dead pixel? I really hope my DS that i have to wait till christmas for, doesnt have any

The dead pixel wasn't too annoying, I got used to it, but I figured I might as well see if I could get a perfect one.

Man, now after playing with new one, the touch screen isnt very sensitive at all. The one with the dead pixel had a very sensitive touch screen, any slight touch would work, but not with the new one. Is it normal for it to not be very sensitve?

The dead pixel issue is everywhere these days! I just got a 19" LCD monitor with 3--count them---3 dead pixels! Ah....

wouldn't you have four styluses btw??? the whole dead pixel thing always haunts me... I just got a new imac and i was afraid of it have dead pixels... now the ds, Luckily for me, both came to me in perfect condition, well the ds' hinge seems kinda loose, but thats just me being particular.

lol - Ive had a dead pixel show up on my computer screen but i have to admit its only ONE and its on my computer... Still im crossing my fingers for my DS to be free of the "dead pixel virus". Ive heard this virus is easy to catch all you have to do is buy one and hey! you have it (joking I really am crossing my fingers).

No, I only have three, becuase the replacement DS is remanufactured, so it didn't come in the real box and it didn't come with the demo, the strap, the charger, or the extra stylus, only the sytem with one stylus.
